I've always been a dreamer. From sitting in Optimist Park in Billings, Montana to walking the well chartered trails of Carolina. In all things I do it began with dreaming. With those dreams have come a lot of prayer. Putting the two side by side yesterday I began to compare the types of energy required to make them work as a team or as solo performers. Without activation neither will survive beyond a simple thought. How often though have we tried to fuel the dream with prayer and when it doesn't come with a return on your investment both are dropped from your life? This isn't a guilt trip! It's being aware of where we presently stand and see things. Being mindful of the present puts you in the center of the elements making up your moment. What some may not know is that your presence is also part of someone else's moment of now. How you act and react has a serious impact on how things move forward. Which basically means dreams and prayer are powerful tools not guarantees. Which makes me wonder how many other tools are part of the daily elements and we've allowed ourselves to be blinded by what doesn't fit into the physical act of being accepted. Awareness of who and what's in your elements. Tell yourself, "I am in theirs as well. How shall I participate?" Dreams and prayers are met and answered everyday. When victories aren't showing up at your front door... what's the next step and or choice to kick start your heart? Awareness.
